does anyone have a hero that isnt completely cliche
also i think its pretty dumb that people think people who just came in to the picture can be their heroes
obama, mccain, and sullenberger

[zomfgbie]

2, 5, 7 and 10 are just no

i have no idea who 9 is

[texas]

sullenberger is the guy who made the emergency landing of that flight that almost crashed in manhattan
i mean thats great but why would that make him your hero

[zomfgbie]

this just shows how uninformed and ignorant most us citizens are

barack obama - skin color
jesus - imaginary friend
bush - initiated the war (which i guess some people liked)
mccain - very recent events, dwindeling supporters
sullenberger - again recent events

[texas]

i dont see whats wrong with having jesus as a hero
regardless of whether or not hes the son of god he was a nice guy

[Flash]

"Wrapping up the top five are Ronald Reagan and George W Bush."

ugh

sullenberger is the guy who made the emergency landing of that flight that almost crashed in manhattan

how many people in america want to be commercial pilots


yeah this list is pretty crappy and so was their sample

[W.A.C.]

American's top 10 heroes are:
1. Barack Obama

>_<

2. Jesus Christ

Even though I'm agnostic, I find it rather bizarre Jesus lost to Obama.

3. Martin Luther King

Well deserved of the high ranking.

4. Ronald Reagan

Heh. >_>

5. George W. Bush

What the fuck? When he left office, he was even unpopular in Texas.  How the hell did he get on this list?

6. Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln is extremely overrated.

7. John McCain

After the rotten campaign he threw, I'm surprised he did this well. Then again, Bush got #5. That's practically a mind shattering fact.

8. John F. Kennedy

I question if he would be ranked this high if he was never shot.

9. Chesley Sullenberger

At first, I had no idea who the fuck this guy was, but now that I know he's the guy who landed that plane safely, I find it somewhat laughable he got on the top ten list. Next time they do this survey, he'll be nowhere on the list. Don't get me wrong. He's an amazing pilot that saved so many lives, but few are going to even remember this guy ten years from now.

10. Mother Teresa.

I know very little about her.

Edit-

In a Harris Poll conducted in 2001, Jesus Christ was the hero mentioned most often, followed by Martin Luther King, Colin Powell, John F Kennedy and Mother Teresa.

lol colin powell

[Crabarms]

lol thats sad.

[Wasim]

lol thats sad.

He's bigger than Jesus.

[rtil]

6. Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln is extremely overrated.

[Alta Don]

Obama beat Jesus? What is America coming to?  

[LordZeebmork]

black people

[trent bortknob]

im sure eventually people will realize that obama isnt that great

[texas]

why not someone cool like locke or voltaire or platos

[W.A.C.]

While he was definitely not a bad president, he has been consistently praised as this country's best president and honestly, I don't think he did that great of a job.

[ansel]

I really, really don't think this list is accurate

[texas]

lincoln suspended habeas corpus temporarily during the civil war
so he was bad
